Igarapé Institute EcoCrime Data

The EcoCrime data visualisation tool allows users (including decision- and policymakers, journalists, activists, researchers, and everyday people) to trace patterns in environmental crimes, and to follow particular stories and experiences. In acting as a kind of storymap, the platform offers multiple ways to interact with data and to think across scales. Types of environmental crime the platform tracks include deforestation , illegal mining, soy, oil, and gas production facilities, and attacks on environmental defenders. The platform draws together datasets from a range of other projects, such as Imazon's PrevisIA tool, which uses AI to predict deforestation and fires in the Amazon.
